Total b******* I live in roxboro I'm 15 minutes away from Virginia and I was hunting 2 years ago and my deer stand I got there around 4:00 a.m. fell asleep and woke up at 7:00 a.m. and seen a 6 ft 200 lb panther staring at me 20 yards from me in a another tree and may I remind you all I was about 25 ft in the air so was he at my height range on the other side of the tree.
Trust me it's a black jaguar I have seen one in Washington State I was fishing with my friend Dave and one crossed the creek in front of us about 30 yards away there have also been other sightings in Washington State Jaguars used to live in the United States in the 1800s and they are making a comeback
I live in WA state, too and hike a lot. I had seen a black jaguar about three years ago, around 2 pm in Gold Bar at the Fish Hatchery. When I called the Fish Hatchery, they got very excited but they transfered my call to the Fish and Wildlife in Olympia, WA. When I explained what I had seen, the woman kept telling me, maybe it was a big black dog or even a big house cat? She didn't believe me, she kept saying, there are no black jaguars/panthers or cougars in North America.
I just saw one today! 200ft from our property on the Olympic Peninsula. As a European, I still get confused what wild cats are common here or not so didn't think of it being a huge deal that it was black, but now I read that it's a rare thing. Will try to set up a trailcam there!
They are very much elusive. Plenty of ppl have seen them. With all of the sightings, we can’t keep thinking these were just pets released. They’ve always been here. I think scientist & “others”just don’t want ppl to get scared & panic so they just opt to telling ppl they’re not real or “you just saw a large house cat”.
Exactly I just don’t get why they wanna keep it a secret there’s mountain lions lurking around in the thousands across the US, sharks all in the waters, bears, giant snakes, gators, etc. all over and all together very little attacks per year.
I think jaguars are coming up from Mexico-Texas and populating the South, filling the large predator void, jaguars did exist in Louisiana as late as the early 1900's.
There’s no question that this is a big black cat in the footage. For people to deny it, or claim there are no panthers indigenous to the area is irrelevant. It’s there, period

I saw something huge and black moving soundlessly on all fours pretty near me while camping in a residential area park in the San Francisco foothills. I got the heck out of there and spent the rest of the night in an all night diner drinking coffee!
My grandma from NC talked about seeing black panthers back in the 1920s on numerous occasions. My ancestors the Cherokee people talked about this animal just as if it were just as normal as a bear or a deer. Living in NC I met lots of people who claimed to have seen the animal in the last 10 years. Years ago I found my brother's Boxer ripped to shreds close the woods where people claimed to have seen one. Someone's pet? Pet what? Black leopard or jaguar which their black color is a actually a mutation and quite rare. Neither of these cats fit the body description I've heard of either. People claim their long, low to the ground and have long puffy tails. I personally think this is a rare species the US government never wanted to acknowledge it would become a hindrance to the deforestation.
No definitely not. They are all over in almost every state but they choose to lie about it. Panthers aren't the only thing out three they are lying about either.
Exactly, there was 3 alligators caught be me and gators don't live here, they even caught two men who released them.

Its still different seeing crazy Steve was right.
@everyday atrocity: i live in rural NC close to Appalachian state university and my grandmother and grandfather talked about what you mentioned a lot too. it’s funny because i’ve saw one of these creatures too and they are kind of different from a black jaguar. they’re long and not as muscular looking, kind of lanky and their tails are very long. i also saw one while walking down a backroad with a friend (i was in high school sneaking out) and we saw one run across the road it ran similar to a greyhound and it made no noise. it was long and big and black and the tail was unmistakable. it scared us so bad we just stood motionless holding each other for what seemed like forever then we ran back the way we came. it’s odd how people will deny this could ever be a real thing lol
My grandma used to tell us stories about seeing black panthers when she was child in NC during the 1920s. I've heard a lot of people claim to have seen them including my neighbors. Science claims they can only be rare black mutations of jaguars from South and Central America or black mutations of leopards from Africa. I think it's just a very elusive animal. Even jaguars are very hard to locate. This thing would be like it's cousin but even more scared of people because of deforestation.
Yep I've heard those stories here too. I actually live near a place called Panther Branch and there's also a Panther Lake. My friend lives one town over in Selma and he saw a brownish colored one.
@@AcesWildMMA What if those in power(who fund scientific research) simply told you there is no such thing as an ulterior motive, such as doing what their donors tell them to do which is promote and allow deforestation and endanger wild species? The same thing happened years ago in the Amazon when big corporations swooped in for a material called rubber. This was a time when Jaguars were found frequently in the southern US and Mexico. This was years and year ago back when they first started using rubber for tires etc. Learn from your history. The system lies.
I live in Western Washington state and I am in the woods a lot. I had seen different wild animals since 1998 and I know how they look like. But what I had seen three years ago in Gold Bar, WA, walking on a trail by the Fish Hatchery was a black panther or jaguar. It just strolled casually across the trail, even stopped and looked at me. I was so scared, I froze and didn't think about taking a photo. The animal wasn't interested in me and just disappeared into the woods. I walked back to my car as fast as I could and called the Fish Hatchery, telling them what I had seen. They transfered my call to the Fish and Wildlife in Olympia, WA. When I explained what I had seen, they kept arguing with me. They said, maybe it was a house cat or a dog? They said, maybe it was a bobcat? They said, there are no black panthers/cougars/jaguars in North America. I know what I had seen, it was a little smaller than a full grown cougar, as I had seen those, too and it was jet black. It makes me wonder, why do they deny these sightings, as I heard other people reporting them, too.
I was thinking, it was probably someone's pet and got lose, but it was definitely a black jaguar. That area has some very rich drug dealers and I heard, they like to keep these type of animals.@kaden88
Interesting. There are other comments from people from Washington state saying the seen them roaming around also. I would doubt it. We can't cover every square inch of a forests only the latest that already exist there.
My husband and I saw a black panther in our neighborhood a few days ago. We both saw what we saw. Currently I just saw it go into my neighbors yard where they have chickens. It surprises me when people discount these sightings because here in NC it is legal to own exotic pets. In this case a panther used to roam NC so they can survive if released by a person who decides they no longer want it as a pet.
I spotted one in painted post. Ran past my complex killed a rabbit, in front of me! September 2021. Be careful it is still here I hear it at night and neighbors saw it too
I saw a black cat and I'd swear to it in a court of law. In 1997 driving north on route 29, between Lynchburg and Charlottesville, Virginia. The highway at that point was split about 50 yards apart from north and south directions, meaning there was plenty of land between those lanes. My vehicle, was going up a small slope, the setting sun directly behind me as the road twisted. Off to my left up on a rise surrounded by brush and small trees, I saw the cat. Huge, black, with a three to four foot long tail, erect. The cat's eyes reflected a golden color from the sun, in that unmistakable cat's eye shape.The cat was magnificent in its size and the head and body were facing me as if the cat were looking at me in my vehicle. I gazed at the cat for a few seconds at most as I was going 60 mph. I blinked and the cat was gone, just disappeared instantly. That was twenty five years ago, I'm 65 years old, now.
I believe you. Though, is there any possibility that it was a mountain lion, because of the sunset, the angles, the reflection, or ANYTHING, caused the optical effect of black color, when instead could have been brownish and camouflaged, but the visual perception was what you describe?
@@you_dont_wanna_know1969 Sure, anything is possible, where those "tangibles" you speak of could have altered his or her actual color of the coat. I thought though, the sun, being as a stage light, penetrated the camouflage and showed me exactly what was there. Nature is marvelous, and I'm still enthralled by the memory.
I saw not one, but two big black cats just outside of my home town in Ohio two years ago. They had the physique of mountain lions or leopards, they were almost totally jet black and about 4 or 5 football fields away from me. I never saw them in the area again, but it doesn’t surprise me since my mom said she and her grandma saw one in the distance when she was a kid and my stepdad found prints in the woods when I was little.
I personally saw a large black cat with 3 other people present who confirmed that they saw the same thing. It was 70-80 feet away from us in a lighted parking lot walking away at an angle so we could see the long tail. It was in Englewood, Florida January 2022. We referred to it as a “panther”because of the brown panther being in Florida. Whatever you want to call it, Panther, Cougar, jaguar, mountain lion. We saw a black one without a doubt.
I live in SW Florida near the Florida Panther Preserve, our property is high ground surrounded by muddy swamp land. We have 15 trail & security cameras around our area. We see Fl panther’s often, when they have walked through the muddy swamp they can appear darker than they are. Did anyone of your friends take a picture with their cell phone? I assume not or you would have posted it. It kinda sounds like all the people that say they’ve seen the Skunk Ape but nobody bothered to snap a pic with the alway available cell phone. Since you don’t have any proof of your claim I’m more likely to agree with Panther Biologists that have spent their life long careers studying panthers all over the world, they concluded there is no such animal as a Black Panther…unless you are referring to the radical Black Panther group 🤷🏻♀️
@@terrywilson9500 Those biologists are on the government payroll or get government grants, and the gov doesn't want people to know these things are here. They're worried about "panic". But hey, go ahead, drink the Kool-Aid, and believe "the science." If the past few years have taught us anything, it's that "experts" are worthless.
I saw a black panther clear as day in the Canadian wilderness in the summer of 2021. Reports of "Phantom Cats" started in the 60's in Britain then expanded worldwide. I have great faith in The Creator but it took me 2 years to figure out what the phantom cat sighting meant for me - The black panther is my spirit animal. Laugh all you want. I knew none of it before the sighting but the traits and characteristics of the big cat as well as those of people who have black panthers as their spirit animal, match mine so closely I simply can't deny it. Spirit animals are real, and apparently can take physical form. Could that maybe what this phantom cat phenomena is? People's spirit animals wandering around in places they shouldn't logically be? Idk but it's a crazy ol' world, I'll tell you that.
When I was a child, I was in an antique store with my mom when we visited FL. And laying on the table was an old book of illustrations of birds and animals native to Florida. I wish I had begged and begged for it. It's probably worth a lot of money now. Anyway it had a water color of a Jaguar. It was either a Jaguar or a Ocelot. It was a beautiful book. Jaguars were once indigenous to Fla.,LA, and Texas and Mexico. They are not experts if their relatives haven't lived in this country for more than a thousand years or 300 years.
just leave the poor thing alone its not his folt the increable thing was made by god the only reason he would chase you if you upset him so dont upset him in the first place
@@TheBaBaTV I was making a joke, my friend. I am sorry if I offended you, but I don't see any reason to get mad there. But sometimes, animals kill just for fun, but only smaller animals like rats. At least that's what someone told me.
They’re definitely there. I was on dam neck base when I was in the navy and I saw them just over the sand pile down by the beach from the hotel. Several of them.
How could the person who filmed the video not be able to easily confirm if it was a cat or not from that distance? Even with the poor video resolution, it's pretty simple to assess that this is a large cat.
Got tree experts telling me that Dogwoods don't live for more than 20 years. At our old family cemetery where we are buried with Crockett's there's a dogwood that's at least 100 years old. Experts 🙄
I have seen one I Virginia twice once when I was a boy then about 3 months ago about 30 years apart that tells me that their breeding here and both times more than one person seen them the one I saw as a boy my papaw told it was a panther he said that was the reason why panther creek got its name they are in Virginia but it’s extremely rare to see one and no I didn’t take pictures the second time around because I don’t want anyone to harm them fear makes most humans grow cold me I feel like I won the lottery just for being able to see them twice
@@brittanyfisher3816 it was so stealthy I had to double take to understand what I was looking at. Very intelligent creatures. The night before my companion and I had a skirmish with a group of bears rifled down one and knicked another not too sure but the whole night we saw all types of animals picking at the corpse of the first bear shot. The day after I believe the cougar was curious. Definitely known animal in the wilds here in arizona.
@@blessedabyss165 yes. i was living in cave creek and saw 2 wolves and was told by dnr that they were coyotes...there is no doubt they lie about what is out there.
Not impossible people have released exotic pets on purpose or they have escaped. It happened in Columbia with hippos. There's been sightings elsewhere. If the animals have a forest to hide or they usually hide by areas wheres theres a lot of brush and bushes by river beds.
They need to fire that employee from that wildlife job, in a residential comes shows you proof of a big cat don't say it's none in your area when it clearly is goof ball
They didn’t name a NFL team after them for no reason 😂 it’s so interesting however why the authorities deny these sightings even though there are multiple videos and reported sightings of them.
What’s hard for people to believe that melanistic mountain lions exist and melanistic jaguars as well in the US. Why we have to mystify a normal animal that’s more then likely just expanding territories? 😂 it’s rare to see but let’s stop acting like it’s big foot or thylacine or ogopogo 😂
I saw a black panther in Sarasota Fl in 1990.. they say that there is no such thing.. but I know what to saw.. it was a majestic animal.. and solid black .. not a black leopard…
@@dk101likeu the solid black doesn’t confirm anything. Some melanistic leopards are completely black and we can’t see their spots and rosettes, and some are not. Same for jaguars
My great grandfather used to tell me about how he saw a black panther there TWICE! as a kid never really believed it he says it was originally a myth around where he lived untill he saw it fir himself he believes it was the same one but it would be long gonr by now right?
So i found mtn lion kills in South Dakota when they were not supposed to live there, reported it and was told they are transitory. 2 weeks later saw them less than a mile from my house with cubs. Transitory lions will not have cubs, only in home range. The next summer they were on the news in town with cubs and the gfp had to publicly admit there was a small population, that fall they opened season to hunt them. This story repeated in my current state, moral of the story? Wildlife officials will lie and call you crazy until they become an issue or they have to admit they are there. Yes they lie
Like all cryptozoology claims, the few videos are poor, out of focus, and ambiguous. Yet everyone carries a cellphone and there are trail cameras all around.
Black panthers are black jaguars. A certain percentage of Jaguars are black. A lot of them are in South America and Central America. There natural habitat is supposed to come into the SW US. So Black Jaguars can be in the US. People have reported seeing them in Virginia, NC and other states.
@garlandalmarode6396 no, ppl are reporting seeing black panthers, not black jaguars. There is no evidence of a melanistic panther, no trail cam photos, nothing that I am aware of. This is why the black panther is considered a cryptid, black jaguar are not.
Baloney. No such thing especially in Virginia. The only big cat possibility would be a jaguar. No others can possibly be black except house cats. People have such imaginations.
I am sorry about this I really did try to come down thereI was in Hagerstown Maryland and Baltimore Maryland and Lansdowne when I got the phone call and I was I got another phone calls recently for 2021 in Martinsburg West Virginia I have been dealing with a whole lot of I have been dealing with a lot of things I am sorry about this I haven't got what I really need to help and I'm sorrythere has been people trying to cause problems for other people and the people it is causing it walks away from everything and they don't get in trouble I'm sorry for all I really am sorry I tried my best to stop this from happening
@@garlandalmarode6396 well…the title of that video is “Black Panther sighting reported” so why show a video of a black dog? Better to not even show a video. Plus all these “black Panther sightings” are mistaken identity or pure fantasy anyway.
black or not, they are definitely Cougars they branch out from Florida trust, they are in these Eastern States ( South and North ) so far i have only come across the drunk ones at bars !
Is a black Pantham like haven’t you seen I know y’all think black campgrounds are not real it’s not a dog it’s a black panther him just trying to warn you so yeah I don’t get it
Amazes me how ignorant people are. There is no such animal known as a panther or black panther. Jaguars which are native to the Americas can be melanistic which means they will be black, but it is extremely rare as the percentage is like 10%. I find it amusing that there are all these sightings of "black" panthers across the US yet none of spotted Jaguars which would be more probable to witness. But even then, these elusive animals have been no longer in the US with the exception of 2 or 3 that have been spotted in southern Arizona in the last 20 years or so. There are researchers who have devoted their entire life to the research of Jaguars in the Pantanal in South America which has the highest concentration of Jaguars, and some have only seen them once or twice yet in the US everyone and their grandmother have seen one.
It just looks like a dog to me, also if I spotted a a big cat crossing the road, I would definitely be filming it for more than just one second. If anything it's either a dog or a complete and total hoax. I can't even see a significant shadow underneath the animal. Suggesting that it may a computer generated image added in post
Well first off theres no such animal as a black panther it would need to be a black leopard or black jaguar not sure if theres cougers witch are also named panthers but never herd or seen of a black one maybe some1 in the area had a black leopard as a pet or black jaguar thats my guess but looked like leopard if anything or dog haha
Technically there is no evidence or video proof of a black panther. But any animal can be born melinistic. Most likly this is a exotic pet leopard tho.
@@garlandalmarode6396 there are black jaguars and black leopards tgey have been referd to as black panters BUT THERE IS NO SUCH ANIMAL. The panther is actually a a Puma Concolor also known as couger , mountain lion, puma, and the Flordia Panther there has been sights of white Panthers but not sure of a black Panther ...
I wonder if the people commenting about seeing black panthers realize it would literally have to be either a jaguar or a leopard and why seeing such a thing on Buttface Nowhere Ave, Ohio makes zero sense. If these are people’s released pets you’d see just as many lions and tigers roaming the woods

Science claims they can only be rare black mutations of jaguars from South and Central America or black mutations of leopards from Africa. I think it's just a very elusive animal. Even jaguars are very hard to locate. This thing would be like it's cousin but even more scared of people because of deforestation.
Yep I've heard those stories here too. I actually live near a place called Panther Branch and there's also a Panther Lake. My friend lives one town over in Selma and he saw a brownish colored one.
There’s no such thing as a black panther
@@AcesWildMMA What if those in power(who fund scientific research) simply told you there is no such thing as an ulterior motive, such as doing what their donors tell them to do which is promote and allow deforestation and endanger wild species? The same thing happened years ago in the Amazon when big corporations swooped in for a material called rubber. This was a time when Jaguars were found frequently in the southern US and Mexico. This was years and year ago back when they first started using rubber for tires etc. Learn from your history. The system lies.
They are Catamounts in New York black mountain lions are common
Black mutation of a Florida panther
You know somethings wrong when wildlife officials don't wanna admit the panther
Train by day, Joe Rogan Podcast by night, all day!
Hahaha!!!!
By the time this was reported that thing was miles away. Their territory spans 100 mile radius and they constantly patrol it.
People in East Texas have been seeing those things for years.
i saw a black panther in myakka state park while living in florida….it was so beautiful…i wish i saw it at a time when cell phones had cameras ❤️
Yes! I saw a black panther in the Myakka River area 2010. It had strolled across the road...I was shocked.
I live in Western Washington state and I am in the woods a lot. I had seen different wild animals since 1998 and I know how they look like. But what I had seen three years ago in Gold Bar, WA, walking on a trail by the Fish Hatchery was a black panther or jaguar. It just strolled casually across the trail, even stopped and looked at me. I was so scared, I froze and didn't think about taking a photo. The animal wasn't interested in me and just disappeared into the woods. I walked back to my car as fast as I could and called the Fish Hatchery, telling them what I had seen. They transfered my call to the Fish and Wildlife in Olympia, WA. When I explained what I had seen, they kept arguing with me. They said, maybe it was a house cat or a dog? They said, maybe it was a bobcat? They said, there are no black panthers/cougars/jaguars in North America. I know what I had seen, it was a little smaller than a full grown cougar, as I had seen those, too and it was jet black. It makes me wonder, why do they deny these sightings, as I heard other people reporting them, too.
I was thinking, it was probably someone's pet and got lose, but it was definitely a black jaguar. That area has some very rich drug dealers and I heard, they like to keep these type of animals.@kaden88
Interesting. There are other comments from people from Washington state saying the seen them roaming around also. I would doubt it. We can't cover every square inch of a forests only the latest that already exist there.
One has recently been spotted in Kings Mtn. NC
That is a black panther without a doubt. Beautiful, deadly creature.
I'm in Greenville County south Carolina. Just found footprints on my property. Panther or mountain lions.
Rogan brought me here lol ✌ 💖 🌍

Right 👍😂🤣

Which video did they talk about this in?
Thanks
@@joeynash4505 episode 1667
They are here in western NC as well. Going back since before I was born. So there's gotta be a small population of them around
My husband and I saw a black panther in our neighborhood a few days ago. We both saw what we saw. Currently I just saw it go into my neighbors yard where they have chickens. It surprises me when people discount these sightings because here in NC it is legal to own exotic pets. In this case a panther used to roam NC so they can survive if released by a person who decides they no longer want it as a pet.
Mountainlions are not exotic !
@@sonicmagnus5312 They are when kept as a pet. Anything not domesticated kept as a pet is called an exotic pet. Google if confused.

Thaaaaat aint no house cat.
I have seen several of these large black cats over my life i have house cats there are as big as a person not a house cat
I spotted one in painted post. Ran past my complex killed a rabbit, in front of me! September 2021. Be careful it is still here I hear it at night and neighbors saw it too
I saw a black cat and I'd swear to it in a court of law.
In 1997 driving north on route 29, between Lynchburg and Charlottesville, Virginia. The highway at that point was split about 50 yards apart from north and south directions, meaning there was plenty of land between those lanes. My vehicle, was going up a small slope, the setting sun directly behind me as the road twisted. Off to my left up on a rise surrounded by brush and small trees, I saw the cat. Huge, black, with a three to four foot long tail, erect. The cat's eyes reflected a golden color from the sun, in that unmistakable cat's eye shape.The cat was magnificent in its size and the head and body were facing me as if the cat were looking at me in my vehicle. I gazed at the cat for a few seconds at most as I was going 60 mph. I blinked and the cat was gone, just disappeared instantly. That was twenty five years ago, I'm 65 years old, now.
I believe you. Though, is there any possibility that it was a mountain lion, because of the sunset, the angles, the reflection, or ANYTHING, caused the optical effect of black color, when instead could have been brownish and camouflaged, but the visual perception was what you describe?
I believe you my friend and I saw one in Washington State and there have been other sightings as well from other people in Washington State
@@you_dont_wanna_know1969 Sure, anything is possible, where those "tangibles" you speak of could have altered his or her actual color of the coat.
I thought though, the sun, being as a stage light, penetrated the camouflage and showed me exactly what was there.
Nature is marvelous, and I'm still enthralled by the memory.
Saw the same thing all the way up in the pine barrens south jersey in the late 90s
Saw one in Maryland 38 yrs ago. I know what I saw though nobody believed me. In was in a forested area. I believe u.
well when you guys are building roads and homes around their habitat, they have no we’re else to go.
I saw not one, but two big black cats just outside of my home town in Ohio two years ago. They had the physique of mountain lions or leopards, they were almost totally jet black and about 4 or 5 football fields away from me. I never saw them in the area again, but it doesn’t surprise me since my mom said she and her grandma saw one in the distance when she was a kid and my stepdad found prints in the woods when I was little.
Black Panthers are all over! I seen one walking down the street in Spring Hill Florida!
100% a black leopard
Or a jaguar
@@mobarenleidowu1336 yeah potentially can't really see it's tail to tell which one it is but it did have a slight jaguar gate
No leopards in America, unless escaped from someone who had it illegally.
I personally saw a large black cat with 3 other people present who confirmed that they saw the same thing. It was 70-80 feet away from us in a lighted parking lot walking away at an angle so we could see the long tail. It was in Englewood, Florida January 2022.
We referred to it as a “panther”because of the brown panther being in Florida. Whatever you want to call it, Panther, Cougar, jaguar, mountain lion. We saw a black one without a doubt.
I live in SW Florida near the Florida Panther Preserve, our property is high ground surrounded by muddy swamp land. We have 15 trail & security cameras around our area. We see Fl panther’s often, when they have walked through the muddy swamp they can appear darker than they are. Did anyone of your friends take a picture with their cell phone? I assume not or you would have posted it. It kinda sounds like all the people that say they’ve seen the Skunk Ape but
nobody bothered to snap a pic with the alway available cell phone. Since you don’t have any proof of your claim I’m more likely to agree with Panther Biologists that have spent their life long careers studying panthers all over the world, they concluded there is no such animal as a Black Panther…unless you are referring to the radical Black Panther group 🤷🏻♀️
@@terrywilson9500 Those biologists are on the government payroll or get government grants, and the gov doesn't want people to know these things are here. They're worried about "panic". But hey, go ahead, drink the Kool-Aid, and believe "the science." If the past few years have taught us anything, it's that "experts" are worthless.
I saw a black panther clear as day in the Canadian wilderness in the summer of 2021. Reports of "Phantom Cats" started in the 60's in Britain then expanded worldwide. I have great faith in The Creator but it took me 2 years to figure out what the phantom cat sighting meant for me - The black panther is my spirit animal. Laugh all you want. I knew none of it before the sighting but the traits and characteristics of the big cat as well as those of people who have black panthers as their spirit animal, match mine so closely I simply can't deny it. Spirit animals are real, and apparently can take physical form. Could that maybe what this phantom cat phenomena is? People's spirit animals wandering around in places they shouldn't logically be? Idk but it's a crazy ol' world, I'll tell you that.
Until you have a body fish n game will deny everything....why i dont know
I'm thinking they don't want people to hunt them. Cougars are in Virginia and this would be a black Jaguar. They ve been spotted too.
When I was a child, I was in an antique store with my mom when we visited FL. And laying on the table was an old book of illustrations of birds and animals native to Florida. I wish I had begged and begged for it. It's probably worth a lot of money now. Anyway it had a water color of a Jaguar. It was either a Jaguar or a Ocelot. It was a beautiful book. Jaguars were once indigenous to Fla.,LA, and Texas and Mexico. They are not experts if their relatives haven't lived in this country for more than a thousand years or 300 years.

I was making a joke, my friend. I am sorry if I offended you, but I don't see any reason to get mad there. But sometimes, animals kill just for fun, but only smaller animals like rats. At least that's what someone told me.
There not even from here idiot there from africa
Everyone who saw the black panther say "yeah"!
Yeah!
Yeah, in Maryland. Its permanently etched in my memory
They’re definitely there. I was on dam neck base when I was in the navy and I saw them just over the sand pile down by the beach from the hotel. Several of them.
That’s definitely no house cat
How could the person who filmed the video not be able to easily confirm if it was a cat or not from that distance? Even with the poor video resolution, it's pretty simple to assess that this is a large cat.
Got tree experts telling me that Dogwoods don't live for more than 20 years. At our old family cemetery where we are buried with Crockett's there's a dogwood that's at least 100 years old. Experts 🙄
A BLACK PANTHER OR COUGAR RAN IN FRONT OF MY CAR RIDING IN GA
I don't know why it's considered impossible. There are known black jaguar populations in Mexico and Central America...
I have seen one I Virginia twice once when I was a boy then about 3 months ago about 30 years apart that tells me that their breeding here and both times more than one person seen them the one I saw as a boy my papaw told it was a panther he said that was the reason why panther creek got its name they are in Virginia but it’s extremely rare to see one and no I didn’t take pictures the second time around because I don’t want anyone to harm them fear makes most humans grow cold me I feel like I won the lottery just for being able to see them twice
I saw a black cougar at turkey creek in prescott arizona.
Report it if you see it again. To date there has been no proof of a black cougar - it would be a monumental find.
@@brittanyfisher3816 it was so stealthy I had to double take to understand what I was looking at. Very intelligent creatures. The night before my companion and I had a skirmish with a group of bears rifled down one and knicked another not too sure but the whole night we saw all types of animals picking at the corpse of the first bear shot. The day after I believe the cougar was curious. Definitely known animal in the wilds here in arizona.
@@blessedabyss165 yes. i was living in cave creek and saw 2 wolves and was told by dnr that they were coyotes...there is no doubt they lie about what is out there.
It would probably be a black Jaguar.
Could be a rare mutation of a Florida panther
yes, this is a real big animal....not a house cat
It's all fun and games UNTILL the DOGMAN shows up!
A lot of y'all have never seen an actual big cat in person and it shows lol
Not impossible people have released exotic pets on purpose or they have escaped. It happened in Columbia with hippos. There's been sightings elsewhere. If the animals have a forest to hide or they usually hide by areas wheres theres a lot of brush and bushes by river beds.
They need to fire that employee from that wildlife job, in a residential comes shows you proof of a big cat don't say it's none in your area when it clearly is goof ball
I saw it on desert road Suffolk Va it was going in the Great dismal Swamp nwr
i saw 2 florida panthers this week in polk county florida
Could be an escaped pet. I think Virginia allows keeping such animals.
May have escaped from someone who imported illegally and it escaped so now it lives wild. Possibility so yea Wildman life
It wouldn't be a surprise that this is someone's exotic pet.
What is that? Is it a black couger??? I thought they didnt exist????
My mom has seen em In the 80s
They didn’t name a NFL team after them for no reason 😂 it’s so interesting however why the authorities deny these sightings even though there are multiple videos and reported sightings of them.
I can imagine how panther was terrified herself
What’s hard for people to believe that melanistic mountain lions exist and melanistic jaguars as well in the US. Why we have to mystify a normal animal that’s more then likely just expanding territories? 😂 it’s rare to see but let’s stop acting like it’s big foot or thylacine or ogopogo 😂
I saw a black panther in Sarasota Fl in 1990.. they say that there is no such thing.. but I know what to saw.. it was a majestic animal.. and solid black .. not a black leopard…
@@dk101likeu the solid black doesn’t confirm anything. Some melanistic leopards are completely black and we can’t see their spots and rosettes, and some are not. Same for jaguars
How can you tell by the walk when there's so little footage to really check it out? That's not good video footage.
is jaguar black no panther
My great grandfather used to tell me about how he saw a black panther there TWICE! as a kid never really believed it he says it was originally a myth around where he lived untill he saw it fir himself he believes it was the same one but it would be long gonr by now right?
Stop people with the doubt stuff I seen 2 of them in my lifetime in Indiana and both times rose the hair up on the back of my neck K!!!
I saw one near polk county about a year ago.
So i found mtn lion kills in South Dakota when they were not supposed to live there, reported it and was told they are transitory. 2 weeks later saw them less than a mile from my house with cubs. Transitory lions will not have cubs, only in home range. The next summer they were on the news in town with cubs and the gfp had to publicly admit there was a small population, that fall they opened season to hunt them. This story repeated in my current state, moral of the story? Wildlife officials will lie and call you crazy until they become an issue or they have to admit they are there. Yes they lie
This is Black Panther the voice actor he passed away this is sold😢
It looks like a black dog from the video...skinny legs and a dog-like short tail.
Black panthers are in Lowndes co. Al.

My cane Corso looked just like that I think it's a mastif
where are pictures of the paw prints on the plexiglass ? p.s. that was a dog in the video
If it was a dog it was just the media putting an image to the story. It does nothing to disprove what several people say they saw.

Like all cryptozoology claims, the few videos are poor, out of focus, and ambiguous. Yet everyone carries a cellphone and there are trail cameras all around.
As far as I know there are no known videos or picts of a black panther. If this is a cat, it must be a exotic pet leopard that is black.
Black panthers are black jaguars. A certain percentage of Jaguars are black. A lot of them are in South America and Central America. There natural habitat is supposed to come into the SW US. So Black Jaguars can be in the US. People have reported seeing them in Virginia, NC and other states.
@garlandalmarode6396 no, ppl are reporting seeing black panthers, not black jaguars. There is no evidence of a melanistic panther, no trail cam photos, nothing that I am aware of. This is why the black panther is considered a cryptid, black jaguar are not.
Baloney. No such thing especially in Virginia. The only big cat possibility would be a jaguar. No others can possibly be black except house cats. People have such imaginations.
You want to catch it just put some chicken legs out, uncooked with the bone. Jaguars love those.

Amazes me how ignorant people are. There is no such animal known as a panther or black panther. Jaguars which are native to the Americas can be melanistic which means they will be black, but it is extremely rare as the percentage is like 10%. I find it amusing that there are all these sightings of "black" panthers across the US yet none of spotted Jaguars which would be more probable to witness. But even then, these elusive animals have been no longer in the US with the exception of 2 or 3 that have been spotted in southern Arizona in the last 20 years or so. There are researchers who have devoted their entire life to the research of Jaguars in the Pantanal in South America which has the highest concentration of Jaguars, and some have only seen them once or twice yet in the US everyone and their grandmother have seen one.
It just looks like a dog to me, also if I spotted a a big cat crossing the road, I would definitely be filming it for more than just one second. If anything it's either a dog or a complete and total hoax. I can't even see a significant shadow underneath the animal. Suggesting that it may a computer generated image added in post
Well first off theres no such animal as a black panther it would need to be a black leopard or black jaguar not sure if theres cougers witch are also named panthers but never herd or seen of a black one maybe some1 in the area had a black leopard as a pet or black jaguar thats my guess but looked like leopard if anything or dog haha
Technically there is no evidence or video proof of a black panther. But any animal can be born melinistic. Most likly this is a exotic pet leopard tho.
A Jaguar is also called a panther.
@@garlandalmarode6396 no its not ... a jaguar is a jaguar not a panther those are two different cats
